Legal Advice

Establishment and Structuring of Enterprises

We support founders to transfer their ideas into practice and to find the suitable legal framework. We accompany you from the establishment, structuring and financing of your enterprise via the organization of the relationship with your employees and business partners towards the company’s expansion or initial public offering. We do not provide you with a „start-up package“ from the drawer but with foresighted individual advice from which you will benefit in the long run.

Reorganisation and Restructuring of Enterprises

We have an excellent expertise in the field of corporate restructurings and reorganizations, including labor law and tax aspects as well as cross-border transactions. We advise you well experienced, clear-sighted and with the necessary knowledge in accounting and reporting. On request we are happy to work hand-in hand with your local accountant.

Mergers and Acquisitions

We advise on the purchase and sale of enterprise or shares in companies under any legal and tax aspects including the drafting of contracts and documents. We accompany clients on the reorganisation of enterprise prior or after an acquisition or a merger.

Financing and Re-financing of Enterprises

The financing is the heart of any undertaking. We work with both investors and companies and, therefore, know the interest and views of either side. We advise you with respect to any form of financing, from bank loans via silent partnerships to venture capital investments.

Corporate Housekeeping

From the appointment of managing directors or commercial rent agreements to legal disputes: we take care of the respective matter and see ourselves as the „external legal department“ of your enterprise.

Employees’ Benefits

Your employees shall participate in the success of your enterprise beyond appropriate compensation? We are familiar with the common participation models that enable you to avoid typical tax and legal risks and pitfalls.

Labor Law

From employment contracts via notices to dismissal protection proceedings and negotiations with work councils: We advice in any field of labor law, both employees and employers. We are convinced that one would lose the balanced approach by representing one side only.

Tax Advice

We advise enterprises and entrepreneurs on all tax matters and accompany you, in particular, during tax audits and tax court proceedings, with competence and a good sense of proportion. Besides this, we advise private individuals in Germany and abroad under any tax aspects, in particular to avoid a double taxation (e.g. in case of artists or managers). We focus on workable solutions in step with the actual life of the respective client rather than on over-engineered structures.
